When you\u2019re looking to buy a fence, there are a few basic things people consider. What their price range is, what style they\u2019re looking for, and what material they want; whether that\u2019s wood, stainless steel or aluminium. Then they choose their fence. But it\u2019s time to add another factor to the list, consider buying Australian-made. At ToughGuard20 we\u2019re proud to be entirely Australian owned and operated. Based out of Geelong, we do our construction and powder coating locally on-site, making us an Australian-made company.<\/p>\n
Buying locally can end up being the more expensive option, but it usually pays off. You\u2019re choosing to support a local business and pouring money into your own community. You know the products will be designed and built specifically for Australia\u2019s regulations and conditions. Plus, you can be sure your product will be on trend and blend with the local neighbourhood. You don\u2019t want to buy a fence that would look better in Shanghai than Melbourne. Choosing Australian-made products just makes sense.<\/p>\n
Shopping local has its obvious advantages. Namely, you\u2019re keeping your money in the community; you\u2019re supporting local jobs and improving the local economy. But the advantages aren\u2019t limited to where your money goes. Buying local, Australian-made products means you get the opportunity to meet the people behind the product; you\u2019re getting first-hand information from the experts themselves. You\u2019re getting more personalised and better service. When you\u2019re buying from a smaller local business, people know their customers. They can help you wherever possible and ensure you\u2019re getting the most out of their product, because it\u2019s important to them that you do. You definitely can\u2019t say the same about multi-national conglomerates.<\/p>\n
